Feature | Sunset at Midnight
Krissy Adaluz’s “Sunset at Midnight” is a dreamy sonic landscape that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. An independent artist hailing from New York, reclaiming her peace and healing through her music. Krissy has spent over seven years on a personal growth journey, which is reflected in this transcendent track.
Gaining inspiration from when she visited her family’s home island in the Caribbean. She was away from the busy city life of New York and was able to create something beautiful and powerful. This song is a reconnection to her soul. You can hear her blend of acoustic guitar, piano, and subtle synths in this mystical song, making you feel as if she is giving life to the lifeless. A quiet strength wielded from inside her, showing you that after dark times the light will always come.
Catching your attention immediately as the song starts with sounds of waves crashing and people talking and laughing, as if you were on the island with her, setting an authentic tone of what it's like to be in the Caribbean, then giving just a slight pause to then transition into a captivating melody and her hypnotic vocals, this song perfectly captures the love one has for their ancestral land.
Krissy asks in the song, “Could it be you that's waiting for me?” Referring to the island of the Dominican Republic, there is this nostalgic feeling that she is longing for this reunion. Sunset at Midnight is a warm, healing embrace, letting the light consume you as you fully surrender to it. It reminds you that everything will be okay and to enjoy the simple things in life that we usually take for granted, like a beautiful sunset transforming into the night sky.
This is a love letter to her home island. As a Caribbean American myself, I felt every word, beat, and melody Krissy Adaluz sang. “Sunset at Midnight” isn’t just dreamy—it resonates on a deeper, cultural level. It opened my eyes to a greater appreciation, filling me with gratitude and love.
It's the kind of song that belongs on late-night drives, where memories and imagination blur—the perfect soundtrack for when the world slows down and introspection takes over. This song is a must-add to your summer playlist.
